- Here’s why one climate activist is calling COP28’s final agreement an ‘overdue first step’ in acknowledging that ‘the climate crisis, at its heart, is a fossil fuel crisis’

And humanity doesn't have time for the bare minimum, do we? When will millions of people around the world stand together against the fossil fuel industry? Why haven't we done so already?
When you put an oil company CEO in charge of course it's going to be a disaster, and it was.
Nothing of any real consequence was achieved.
Apart from the long term global devastation, it's cool how influential large countries get to choose their immediate economic growth over the existence of some pacific countries.
God Bless The Heroes For Humanity 🙏🌎
Consumers need to bully their respective companies into making a stand, clients need to bully their banks into taking a stand, investors need to bully their funds and fund managers into taking a stand. We can all take a stand, but will we actually do it?
The UN's IPCC AR6 report, chapter 11 'Weather and Climate Extreme Events in a Changing Climate' summarises the fact that severe weather events cannot be detected as increasing, nor attributed to human caused climate change:
Increased Flooding: not detected, no attribution.
Increased Meteorological Drought: not detected, no attribution.
Increased Hydrological Drought: not detected, no attribution.
Increased Tropical Cyclones: not detected, no attribution.
Increased Winter Storms: not detected, no attribution.
Increased Thunderstorms: not detected, no attribution.
Increased Hail: not detected, no attribution.
increased lightning: not detected, no attribution.
Increased Extreme Winds: not detected, no attribution.
There is no climate crisis.
The UN's IPCC AR6 report, chapter 11 'Weather and Climate Extreme Events in a Changing Climate' summarises the fact that certain severe weather events cannot be detected as increasing, nor attributed to human caused climate change:
Pages 1761 - 1765, Table 11.A.2 Synthesis table summarising assessments
Heavy Precipitation: 24 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend (12 medium confidence), 43 out 45 low confidence in human attribution.
Agricultural Drought: 31 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend
(14 medium confidence. No high confidence assessment). 42 out 45 low confidence in human attribution (3 medium, no high confidence).
Ecological Drought as above.
Hydrological Drought: 38 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend.
43 out 45 low confidence in human attribution (2 medium confidence, no high confidence).
So the IPCC are saying we didn't cause droughts and we didn't make it rain. How surprising!
There is no objective observational evidence that we are living in a global climate crisis.
The UN's IPCC AR6, chapter 12 "Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment", section 12.5.2, table 12.12 confirms there is a lack of evidence or no signal that the following have changed:
Air Pollution Weather (temperature inversions),
Aridity,
Avalanche (snow),
Average precipitation,
Average Wind Speed,
Coastal Flood,
Agricultural drought,
Hydrological drought,
Erosion of Coastlines,
Fire Weather (hot and windy),
Flooding From Heavy Rain (pluvial floods),
Frost,
Hail,
Heavy Rain,
Heavy Snowfall and Ice Storms,
Landslides,
Marine Heatwaves,
Ocean Acidity,
Radiation at the Earth’s Surface,
River/Lake Floods,
Sand and Dust Storms,
Sea Level,
Severe Wind Storms,
Snow, Glacier, and Ice Sheets,
Tropical Cyclones.
How about some quotes from the UN's IPCC AR6?
"There is low confidence in the emergence of heavy precipitation and pluvial and river flood frequency in observations, despite trends that have been found in a few regions."
"There is low confidence in the emergence of drought frequency in observations, for any type of drought, in all regions."
"Observed mean surface wind speed trends are present in many areas, but the emergence of these trends from the interannual natural variability and their attribution to human-induced climate change remains of low confidence due to various factors such as changes in the type and exposure of recording instruments, and their relation to climate change is not established. . . The same limitation also holds for wind extremes (severe storms, tropical cyclones, sand and dust storms)."
There is no objective observational evidence that we are living through a global climate crisis. None.
Lol good joke. Because literally all of those things have been detected. As the ipcc has said.
But you don’t care about facts. You only care about pushing your ccp agenda
@@darthmaul216 Anybody can look up the references given. But not you.
Except the report is very clear about the negative impacts climate change has on aspects of our lives such as food security and physical health, the complete opposite of what you are perpetuating here.
The subheadings in Section 2.1.2 of their Climate Change 2023 Synthesis Report:
"It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land. Widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and biosphere have occurred."
"Human-caused climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes inevery region across the globe. Evidence of observed changes inextremes such as heatwaves, heavy precipitation, droughts, and tropical cyclones, and, in particular, their attribution to human
influence, has strengthened since AR5."
"Climate change has caused substantial damages, and increasingly irreversible losses, in terrestrial, freshwater, cryospheric and coastal and open ocean ecosystems (high confidence). The extent and magnitude of climate change impacts are larger than estimated in previous assessments (high confidence)."
"Climate change has impacted human and natural systems across the world with those who have generally least contributed to climate change being most vulnerable."
"Climate change has reduced food security and affected water security due to warming, changing precipitation patterns, reduction and loss of cryospheric elements, and greater frequency and intensity of climatic extremes, thereby hindering efforts to
meet Sustainable Development Goals (high confidence)."
"In urban settings, climate change has caused adverse impacts on human health, livelihoods and key infrastructure (high confidence)."
"Climate change has adversely affected human physical health globally and mental health in assessed regions (very high confidence), and is contributing to humanitarian crises where climate hazards interact with high vulnerability (high confidence)."
"Human influence has likely increased the chance of compound extreme events since the 1950s. Concurrent and repeated climate
hazards have occurred in all regions, increasing impacts and risks to health, ecosystems, infrastructure, livelihoods and food (high confidence)."
"Economic impacts attributable to climate change are increasingly affecting peoples’ livelihoods and are causing economic and
societal impacts across national boundaries (high confidence)."
"Climate change has caused widespread adverse impacts and related losses and damages to nature and people (high
confidence)."
"Across sectors and regions, the most vulnerable people and systems have been disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change (high confidence)."
These are from one sub-section alone, lifted directly out of a very long report that belongs to an entire series.
You are a shameless LIAR.
@berniethekiwidragon4382 Everything I have written about AR6 can be looked up by anybody with half a brain (except your good self it would appear) and they can decide for themselves. Unlike the full AR6 report (which itself has numerous shortcomings) the Synthesis Reportis is reverse engineered. It is thrashed out by a very large group of politicos. Line by line. Remember, these are not scientists, but government lackies. Then they go back to information the scientists gave them and change it. The scientific statements must conform to the political ones, not the other way around.There is little of scientific value in this version of the report as the UN is a political organisation that releases political documents.
